ODINSON! Whatever trick or spell has brought me here, I know it was your doing. I will not be toyed with, craven! Come whence the shadows you hide in or I will hunt you down and drag you out of them, and I will not be gentle.

You think yourself king of Asgard? Then face me like a warrior of Asgard. I would see you answer for your deceits and treachery!

[sorcerous]

[ It sends an immediate chill through the pit of his stomach, and he thinks of the Jotunn warriors in Asgard, thinks of any way his treachery could be traced.

No. He covered his tracks exquisitely. There is no one who could possibly have known. This must just be paranoia, and anger stirs, following the flash of fear. That she would assume -- ! Of a Prince of Asgard, too.

..unless she spoke of Thor?

No. Impossible.

He snaps his fingers and tinges the cave's fire green. ]

[sorcerous]

[ When the video comes on, the light is green on his skin, and his eyes near glow with it. ]

Speak clear, my lady. I know not of what you speak.

[video]

[atwar]

[ Does he think to cow her with his display of power? If she weren't so wroth she'd laugh at him for even trying so childish a trick. ]

Do not try to play the innocent when you are anything but. With Gungnir at your disposal, tampering with the Bifrost would be but child's play.

[video]

[sorcerous]

[ Side-eyeing. ] I believe Gungnir is securely in the hand of the All-Father, and that it has not strayed in a hundred years.

[video]

[atwar]

Lies securely in your hand as the Allfather sleeps, you mean.

[video]

[sorcerous]

If you are to accuse me, Sif, perhaps you should find something I have done.

[video]

[atwar]

Do you deny you that it was you who led three jotuns into Asgard the day of Thor's coronation, and then with silver words seeded in him the idea to defy the Allfather and lead us to Jotunheim?

[video]

[sorcerous]

[ Even those Jotunns didn't know who it was who lead them. Sif cannot be sure. ]

Must I deny an accusation so baseless?

You do me great insult, Lady Sif.

[video]

[atwar]

I have no patience for your games, Loki. Answer me plainly.

[video]

[sorcerous]

Then have you this: you accuse me of treason with no cause. How could I have stolen Gungnir, cast Father into sleep, when I have been here for weeks now? When the Bifrost interrupted my own journey to Jotunnheim and cast me to shores unfamiliar to my eyes?

I demand regress, and apology.

[video]

[atwar]

What lies you spin, Silvertongue! Well you know that the Allfather fell into the Odinsleep after our return from the trip to Jotunheim that saw your brother banished and you conveniently placed to sit upon the empty throne.

[video]

[sorcerous]

[ A startled breath. ]

What?

[fireofunknown]

Whoa whoa lady, lady. I don't know which ren fair you got pulled out of, but this is not a LARP event. No reason to get worked up.

[Working at such "ren fairs" he thinks of course that he knows a roleplayer when he sees one.]

[video]

[atwar]

[ There's something - the way his breath catches, that slip in his mask - that makes her wonder maybe, maybe - but she remembers how he'd looked towering dark and ominous and cold above them in the throne room, and she crushes the uncertainty like an insect beneath her heel. ]

Do you deny your guilt?

video;

[atwar]

I apologize for my outburst. It was not meant for you.

[video]

[sorcerous]

With all my heart. Thor, banished, the All-Father asleep -- Gungnir came to me by succession?

[video]

[atwar]

Your heart, which carries in it all your jealousy of Thor? You expect me to believe that when I know well your talent for lies.

video;

[fireofunknown]

Yeah, I imagined.

...look you okay? Did this Odinson guy give you some trouble?

video;

[atwar]

I would be better were I not stranded here when I have duties elsewhere.

[video]

[sorcerous]

And you believe I want him banished?

[video]

[atwar]

Why else do you refuse to allow him to return?

[video]

[waspromisedcake]

[Wow, this lady's way more angry than anyone else she's seen so far with one of these phone things.]

What's a craven?

[Because that's the most important thing to find out first, right?]

[video]

[sorcerous]

I refused nothing!

[video]

[atwar]

A coward. One who hides in the shadows and uses lies and trickery to achieve his vile goals.

[video]

[atwar]

My memory is not so poor that I would forget the audience given earlier this day by your kingly self.
